gender equality, human rights, treating all people with dignity and respect and
promoting a culture of peace, non-violent behaviour and respectful relationships.
52. The Commission acknowledges women’s and girls’ critical contributions to
their families, and communities and societies. It recognizes the importance of
implementing family-friendly and family-oriented policies aimed at, inter alia,
achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls and their
enjoyment of all human rights by addressing poverty in all its forms and dimensions,
including extreme poverty and the feminization of poverty, and strengthening
institutions and financing with a gender perspective, and also recognizes the need to
ensure that all poverty eradication policies and programmes are responsive to the
changing needs and expectations of families in fulfilling their numerous functions
and that the rights, capabilities and responsibilities of all family members are respected.
53. The Commission is concerned that the lack of disaggregated data and gender
statistics is limiting the capacity of policymakers to effectively address poverty
affecting women and girls. Without robust data collection systems and methods,
countries cannot estimate costs and allocate and spend resources to implement
pro-poor laws and policies, including those that support ending poverty in all its forms
and dimensions. It recognizes that addressing poverty requires informed decision making based on the open exchange and dissemination of disaggregated and
individual-level data, measurement of multidimensional poverty to rapidly progress
towards ending poverty in all its forms and dimensions and achieving gender equality
and the empowerment of all women and girls.
54. The Commission urges governments at all levels and, as appropriate, with the
relevant entities of the United Nations system and international and regional
organizations, within their respective mandates and bearing in mind national
priorities, and invites civil society, inter alia, women’s organizations, youth-led
organizations, feminist groups, faith-based organizations, the private sector and
national human rights institutions, where they exist, and other relevant stakeholders,
as applicable, to take the following actions:

(b) Consider ratifying or acceding to, as a matter of particular priority, the
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and
the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities, and the Optional Protocols thereto, limiting the extent of
any reservations, formulating any such reservations as precisely and as narrowly as
possible to ensure that no reservations are incompatible with the object and purpose
of the Conventions, reviewing their reservations regularly with a view to withdrawing
them, withdraw reservations that are contrary to the object and purpose of the relevant
Convention and implement the Conventions fully by, inter alia, putting in place
effective national legislation and policies;
(c) Consider the importance of the ratification of and, for those that have done
